I don’t think I’m breaking new ground by saying that book
publishing is going through a rapid transformation. I’ve learned
a lot about traditional publishing after working with Wiley for
the past few years on Do More Faster, Venture
Deals, Startup Communities, and Startup Life.
I’ve also experimented with self-publishing with HyperInk for the
book Burning Entrepreneur. And, as I continue to
publish books in the Startup Revolution series, you’ll see a lot more
experimentation from me, both around the writing and publishing
process, as well as with regard to engaging with everyone reading
these books.

Recently, I starting pondering what would happen if a book wasn’t
simply static content, but an actively-engaging,
community-building platform? What if a class could read and
share notes, an executive team could collaborate around a book,
or a community of readers could interact within the text itself?

If you download the book and join the community, you not only get
the book, but you can also connect with me, see my notes, invite
others to join you, and create robust communities and in-line
conversations inside the book.

To help entrepreneurs worldwide, Startup America is also using
its full resources to reach out to millions of entrepreneurs so
that we can all read the book together. Leaders of Startup
America, including Steve Case (the founder of AOL) and Scott Case
(the CEO of Startup America) are going to read and share their
notes as well.

We listen to music together and go to movies together – now we
can read books together. I hope you’ll join me,
participate, and give me feedback on what you think.
